((Following text not dated:))
Several night alerts. Sound of planes. Kids very scared. Twice on 13th, second time about 2 a.m. no all clear so went to bed.
Handcart built on two motor tyres with five rows of seats for ten passengers is pulled by four coolies Causeway Bay to town. Fifty sen per section.
Coolie calls to take away power meter. Decent old bird. He removes and places on ground and I notice U device has scratched inside of wire outlets. Rushed upstairs for small tin black paint and Chinese pen. Then followed him from distance waiting chance. Eventually he places meters on pavement and goes inside entrance of house. Quick painting job while he busy.
